Kenban Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 That was enough for me. I had actually figured it out and never posted the picture because I figured I was wrong. I have a pretty good idea on where and how big now. Will post a picture tonight. I think the southern tip of the coaster is going to be at the tree line next to the power lines. That section where the coaster goes around something just above the zone 3 text is next to the turn on Diamondback. The section lines between 1A and 1B plus the line between 2 and 3 are the train tracks. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw the plans that are on youtube by the 1972 guy that have the details of the footers and the section where the tracks meet. But I didn't see any location identifying info there. Unless I just missed something completely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haru-Kun Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 Lol. There will be no eating alive. I just like to examine all information as long as it's available- hypothetical, theoretical, or otherwise. I'll keep a closer eye on updates to the thread in the future. Wouldn't want to miss anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrill_Biscuit Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 What? The Philadelphia Toboggan Company is out of business? I was hoping they'd build something over at that new park they're putting up in Doswell. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ethancoaster Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 I don't think those plans were something we were meant to see. The video was made private after I shared it on this site. Whoever uploaded it might be among us. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fryoj Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 Yeah, thats the vid I was looking at. It's a copy of the plans that we've seen on here, except it actually shows the detail drawings. After watching it again, it did have some location info in it, but it was park x/y coords. I don't know where to find the info for that system and didn't see it on the plans. The only thing I was able to determine is that the small coaster layout we've seen is largely in the correct orientation based on the coordinates. Now if we just knew the base for the park x/y system we could plot the exact location and sizing. Maybe kenban has access to that info and thats what he's working on. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirbias1 Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 via Imgflip Meme Generator I couldn't resist. I hope it's an RMC, but that latest tease could be a diversion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kirbias1 Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 The blue and green train pic hints KI was showing earlier could be the color of the track. I've noticed that some RMC's have different colors on each side of the track. If it's an RMC, one side could be blue and the other could be green. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenban Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 Sorry to disappoint on the coordinates front. I did not use them at all. I made sure north was the same on both the layout and the map then started scaling it so it would not hit as little as possible and tried to get it to cover the areas which we know are being cleared. So frankly I could be wrong. But I have the orientation correct so either I totally screwed up the scale or I am close. I saw a line of stakes down the banks where I show the ride crossing the water. Several of the zone lines appear to line up with the train tracks. The section where the two sides are together are where it crosses WWC. The two boxes on this section of track are where it crosses the WWC line. The sections of track where the lines are farther apart is likely the sections where the airtime hills are. These line up with the train tracks and maintenance road. So is this actually correct? No clue, sorry. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silver2005 Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 I don't think this will be a launch coaster. Upon looking at that first turn on what appears to be the lift (I think its too short of a straight away for a launch given its length), it starts out at a small turn radius and gets wider as it progresses. That to me is a tell tale sign of a first drop GCI style and with the supports around the lift, the track after the first drop will go above the lift. And yes, I think it'll be a GCI. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bm0324 Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 It looks like it will at least be a decent length coaster, and run over/along the reservoir. I'm hyped. Sent from my SM-G935P using Tapatalk 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiamondBanshee Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 Agreed. Could "tallest and fastest" wood coaster be at KI again? Probably not, but that would be insane. Either way, I hope it's fairly big, fairly fast, and fairly long! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silver2005 Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 If KI goes for the most airtime on a wood coaster, I'd be down with that. 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coaster Addict Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 If GavPenn was right this whole time, I will work on a legitimate apology. Still not convinced, but I was very verbal about not trusting his posts. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bm0324 Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 If KI goes for the most airtime on a wood coaster, I'd be down with that. That could be a pretty tough record to break...but that would be amazing. Fastest could be a pretty tough one... especially if LR is going faster than planned as it has been rumored.

LovinMeSomeBanshee Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 Given that the lift hill section looks pretty short on paper, I bet it's fairly tall. The circuit looks fairly long and it has to gain some significant speed to get through it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MNFriedOreo Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 I think it will be a good addition regardless. I'm not entitled since I lived down the road from Valleyfair most of my life... Also Banshee. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oops... might help if I actually include the silly picture . . . Meanwhile, it would be kinda neat to have that part of the park open up some more. I love the new look of the Grove, but for it to become something of a midway, with a new coaster entry adjacent to it would improve the feeling of "no man's land" between the wet and dry parks, imho. 28 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
